Grandma to the rescue!

My mom talked to my grandma today and she said when she was a girl they used a hairpin to pit cherries. I tried it today to pit the cherries for my pie and it worked pretty well. You just open the pin up a bit and use the hook end to sort of scoop the pit out. Thanks, Grandma!! I would love to share a piece of my pie with you, but I don't think it would travel the 2000 miles very well. :P

Can't wait to dig into this later tonight!
